1. HEALTH

Lesbian Health & Research Center (UC San Francisco)
LHRC is dedicated to improving the health of lesbians, bisexual women,
transgender people, and our families. To achieve this goal, we create
comprehensive programs of research, education and trainings, public
events and community collaborations.

MySistahs
MySistahs is a Web site created by and for young women of color to
provide information and offer support on sexual and reproductive health
issues through education and advocacy. Through monthly features,
message boards, and online peer education young women receive
information on activism, culture, sexual health, and other issues that
are important to them.

Trans Health Conference (Philadelphia)
This conference will bring together transgender and gender-variant
people, partners, allies, and healthcare providers for three days of
workshops, keynotes, discussion, and networking. Because quality
accessible, respectful healthcare is linked to self-determining our
bodies and identities in a larger world, this conference seeks to
explore themes related to enjoying rich, full lives, and building
movements and communities for justice.
